IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed: 1
. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces; use handles or
knobs.
3. To protect against risk of electrical shock,
do not immerse the slow cooker housing in water or any other liquid. If housing falls into liquid, unplug the cord from outlet immediately. DO NOT reach into the liquid.
4. To avoid possible accidental injury, close
supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the appliance has malfunctioned or has been dropped or damaged in any way or is not operating properly. Return the appliance to the nearest Customer Service (see Warranty for details) for examination, repair or mechanical or electrical adjustment.
7
. The use of attachments not recommended
by Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury.
8. Do not use outdoors or anywhere the cord
or unit housing might come into contact with water while in use.
9. Do not use the slow cooker for anything
other than its intended use.
10. To avoid the possibility of the slow cooker
being accidentally pulled off work area, which could result in damage to the slow cooker or personal injury, do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
11. To avoid damage to cord and possible fire or
electrocution hazard, do not let cord contact hot surfaces, including a stove.
12. Extreme caution must be used when moving
a slow cooker containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
13. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or in a heated oven.
14. Do not operate slow cooker in water or
under running water.
15. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as
adding refrigerated foods to a heated pot.
16. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK, COOK ONLY IN THE CERAMIC POT PROVIDED OR PLACED COOKING RACK INSIDE THE CERAMIC POT. DO NOT USE METAL CONTAINERS.
17. CAUTION: A heated ceramic pot may
damage countertops or tables. When removing the hot ceramic pot from the slow cooker, DO NOT place it directly on any unprotected surface. Always set the hot pot on a trivet or a rack.
18. To disconnect, press the On/Off button, and
then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised. If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. NOTICE This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Cooking Guidelines Three cooking modes, Simmer, Low and High, give you the opportunity
to prepare a wider variety of dishes. You can adapt many recipes to slow down the cooking time,
or speed it up, to coordinate meals to your schedule. You will usually want to use the Simmer or Low setting for recipes that cook longer. If you’re
starting a dish later in the day, select the High setting to ensure that your food is cooked, warm, and ready when you’d like to eat.

Brush a 2-quart (1.9 L) soufflé dish lightly with olive oil or coat with cooking spray. Place the spinach in a clean, dark kitchen towel and squeeze until all liquid is removed; reserve. Place the artichoke quarters in a towel and squeeze gently to
remove excess liquid (do not squeeze too hard); reserve.
Place the cream cheese and evaporated milk in a large bowl. Using a hand-held mixer on medium speed, beat until creamy and smooth. Add the Gruyère, garlic, shallot, and two-thirds of the Parmesan; stir on low speed. Add the reserved artichoke hearts and hot sauce; stir on low speed to blend. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
Place the cooking rack in the Cuisinart®Slow Cooker. Place the filled soufflé dish
on the rack.
Cover and press the On/Off button to turn the unit on. Set time to 3 hours and press High; slow cooker will automatically switch to Warm when cooking time has elapsed. Dip should be puffed and bubbly when done. Serve hot with crackers or sliced French bread.
